Many Chinese believe

that if a person wears the green jewelry and is involved in an accident, the jewelry will be broken but its wearer will be protected.

Some Chinese believe that jade is a living stone; its color deepens over time being of supernatural origin. There are two separate stones that go by this name: nephrite, a silicate of calcium and magnesium, and jadeite a silicate of sodium and aluminum. The fondness from an old Chinese legend which tells how an ancient king was once cured of an illness by wearing a jade jewelry. Many Chinese like to wear it because of its alleged protective and curative powers. It can be worked into exquisite pieces such as bangles jewelry, beads, earrings, hairpins and more.
Interestingly, that name "nephrite,"

from the Greek word for kidney, reflects the idea that ground-up jade is a cure for kidney ills. The difference between jadeite and nephrite is not big, its color, texture and hardness. Jadeite brings better saturated colors and takes a higher  polish, while nephrite looks more oily than glossy. Although China has long been the emporium for art objects fashioned in jade it is only seldom found in China anymore, since deposits are depleted. The green stone is imported from other countries, notably Myanmar or Burma. But now nephrite comes from New Zealand, and jadeite mainly from Myanmar.

It is also often found in riverbeds where it has been washed down from the mountains. It is also quarried from mountains, but for some reason Chinese prefer riverbed jade, its very smooth. As seen at the photos here jadeite comes in a variety of colors ranging from pure white, through yellow, red, and blue to black which all is the right material to create beautiful jewelry.

most common in all price ranges are, the deeper the green and the better transparency the higher the price, more.

The price of jades varies tremendously, more is involved than just the intrinsic value of a piece. Color, shape, quality and especially age and golden Myanmar play important roles. In 1960 a piece of carved Chinese jade jewelry was sold at auction for over $16,000.

Jade Prices

vary around the world, too. In Hong Kong a jade can be obtained for as little as $4. In Myanmar or Burma, the main source of Jade this days, one can get a very pretty Jade bangle for about $ 10,- in the Bogyoke Aung Sang market in Yangon or Rangoon. But in Europe and America higher prices for jade jewelry usually prevail. A foremost manufacturer of Hong Kong is quoted as saying that if a stone is too dark, say, moss green, or too light, with much yellow tint, that is the sign of an inferior stone.

The best quality jewelry is lush green, vibrant, with a lot of shine in it. It must be almost translucent

In 1860 a British expedition to Peking sacked the Emperor's Summer Palace and stole many of his magnificent jades. If one sees an object today marked "from the Summer Palace, Peking," then one can be assured of excellent quality, if the tag is telling the truth. British probably were one of the biggest thieves of all time, everywhere they came they stole and looted, this was especially bad in Myanmar and India plus some African countries..
